In Robin York’s provocative new novel, two
young ex-lovers find themselves together again in the shadow of tragedy—and an intense,
undeniable attraction.

Caroline still dreams about West—his warm skin, his taut
muscles, his hand sliding down her stomach. Then she wakes up and she’s back to
reality: West is gone. And before he left, he broke her heart.

Then, out of the blue, West calls in crisis. A tragedy has
hit his family—a family that is already a fractured mess. Caroline knows what
she has to do. Without discussion, without stopping to think, she is on a
plane, flying to his side to support him in any way he needs.

They’re together again, but things are totally different.
West looks edgy, angry at the world. Caroline doesn’t fit in. She should be
back in Iowa, finalizing her civil suit against the ex-boyfriend who posted
their explicit pictures on a revenge porn website. But here she is, deeply into
West, wrapped up in him, in love with him—still.

They fought the odds once. Losing each other was hard. But
finding their way back to each other couldn’t be harder.

Quotes & Awards

[Robin] York’s beautiful prose and vivid descriptions enhance the realism and impact of Caroline and West’s story. Deeper and Harder are sensual and profoundly moving.

They are books I will cherish.Lea Franczak, USA Today

“Bursting with chemistry, emotion, and heart, Caroline and West’s story will take your breath away!”

Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author of the REAL series

“Robin York writes exceptionally real characters in achingly real situations. Harder had a hold on my heart and didn’t let go until the very end.”

Cora Carmack, New York Times bestselling author of Losing It

“Powerful…York makes sure to include a roller-coaster ride of twists and
turns that never ceases.”

RT Book Reviews

“New adult stories are all about people in the first flush of adulthood
grasping the reins of their own lives. In Harder, Caroline and West are
facing genuine challenges: the aftermath of Caroline’s issues
experienced in Deeper; West’s neglectful mother and dysfunctional
family; becoming surrogate parents to Frankie, even when they aren’t
quite together; and all while picking up the threads of a romance that
is nearly broken. Watching Caroline and West reach for the future, and
for each other, is one terrific story.”
